I have had a few fills and yes, they do recommed you dont eat solids (like Winks said) a few hours before the fill. I didnt feel my band tighten on the first couple of fills but felt it on the last one. Not a bad feeling though just an awareness of it actually being there. Happy first fill!!! :biggrin:

Ok, the night from hell to say the least. Nothing stayed down, when I finally fell asleep I woke twice to vomiting in my mouth. And the constant girgling in my throat never stopped. At it seams this is a sign that the Tank is to full! Just got back from the doctor. The PA removed .50 CC and I am feeling a little better. Before this fill I only lost 1 lb in 2 weeks and from my weigh in yesterday until my weigh in today at the doc's I lost 3 grrrr. This is a baby step process I see and shame on me for not eating everything right before the fill as I probably wouldnt have needed my second fill so soon. Liquids for 2 days and I will behave after I am back to normal again.

Thanks I just tried but my computer wont let me get in for some reason...ughhh

My second fill and I am constantly feeling air rising up my throat. I am trying to drink liquids but even those cause the air to rise. I feel a little better when I "pb" (throw up)as I have read on here because an actual burp comes out with a little liquid or saliva. I guess I have to wait until tomorrow anyway but I am looking for advise??? Could it be the band is to tight? I went in and got 2 cc's but she had to remove 1 right way so I only got 1 cc. I am at 6.5 cc's since surgery (06/15). I am so confused...can this 1 cc make me go from almost eating anything to almost zero?? And I feel hungry :thumbup:

Thank you I sure will check it out

Ok, it has been one month since I had surgery (06/15) and I lost nothing but what I did the first week. I was very upset to say the least finding that I could eat anything as I did before surgery. Plus I was hoping to have lost at least 10 lbs :frown: The PA said I had 3.5 cc and she added 2.0 cc so now I am at 5.5 cc's and I guess we have to see see :thumbup: I also go back in 2 weeks to see if I need more in my band. Feeling discouraged :thumbup:

That is alot of weight in 1 month. Are you eating normal and if so did you share what you are eating with him/her? The thing that strikes me as odd is that your recently nauseous. Pregnant or problem...tell the doctor.

Ahhh the start over after a fill, so not looking forward to that. First fill for me 4 weeks from my date of surgery cuz I am feeling like I can eat anything without restriction. How many fills does it take to get to that spot. Your going on number three...is that because your not feeling the fullness when you do eat?

I too lost only 6 lbs. Now I am in a stall mode. My surgery was 06/15 and I am getting a fill because I feel no restriction or fullness. If it hadent been for the great people sharing info on this site I might not have known I need a fill and it is not normal to not feel full at some point! Special thanks to Tina and Maggs they are great bloggers!!!

Darn if I can find them after I read them. Wish my weight vanished like that...lol. I am not so savy on this site so does anyone know how to retrieve them or am I having a major blonde moment? Found the emails now!!!!

I did now and all I can say about it is...........AMEN!
